Share your views in new Financing for Growth research

Campden Wealth is asking one of the most fundamental questions in the family business community as the launch pad for its latest agenda-setting study.

The organisation has teamed up with leading global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) to ask this autumn: How do you finance your family business?

For a 2017 report titled Financing for Growth, the Campden Research team is delving into contemporary funding approaches around the world. They are exploring the methods and sources of capital that family businesses use to finance their development plans. Researchers also hope to better understand the challenges family businesses may face while obtaining capital and what their expectations are towards capital providers.

Sections cover participants' approaches and attitudes to financing, including debt, leverage, sources, capital structure and governance, along with future considerations, such as funding needs, sourcing funding and capital realisation.

Stuart Rutherford, Director of Research, said Campden Wealth was “committed to providing our community of family offices and family businesses with the highest quality intelligence, which serves to satisfy their unique information needs.”

The findings will influence family business activities and capture world headlines, just as the latest flagship study, the 2016 Global Family Office Report, has done since its release in September.
